to_o the_o advantage_n that_o we_o may_v expect_v to_o reap_v by_o such_o a_o method_n i._n first_o this_o will_v keep_v the_o cloth-trade_n altogether_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o english_a i_o

may_v be_v of_o service_n to_o the_o public_a in_o time_n of_o necessity_n for_o society_n will_v not_o hazard_v so_o valuable_a a_o commodity_n as_o cloth_n and_o in_o such_o great_a parcel_n as_o doubtless_o they_o will_v send_v out_o at_o a_o time_n in_o ordinary_a vessel_n for_o one_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o merchandise_n be_v the_o right_a time_a of_o market_n they_o will_v not_o send_v

themselves_o into_o holland_n to_o the_o irreparable_a damage_n of_o this_o nation_n as_o 140_o family_n do_v out_o of_o norfolk_n and_o suffolk_n in_o the_o year_n 1635_o 1636._o and_o when_o two_o

after_o by_o public_a officer_n and_o indeed_o every_o member_n of_o these_o society_n whereas_o the_o foreigner_n look_v no_o far_o than_o to_o get_v so_o many_o yard_n overplus_n in_o consideration_n of_o the_o want_n of_o breadth_n and_o goodness_n provide_v he_o have_v it_o at_o his_o own_o term_n beat_v down_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o price_n of_o cloth_n here_o and_o undersel_v it_o abroad_o so_o that_o the_o retailer_n abroad_o that_o buy_v it_o of_o we_o do_v only_o look_v upon_o the_o muster_n and_o outside_o and_o find_v themselves_o afterward_o cheat_v they_o change_v their_o chapman_n and_o deal_v with_o the_o honest_a dutch_a which_o may_v be_v prevent_v by_o public_a officer_n and_o a_o public_a seal_n x._o this_o will_v make_v the_o commodity_n more_o staple_n and_o more_o considerable_a all_o over_o the_o world_n whereas_o now_o the_o proffer_a sale_n of_o it_o make_v it_o contemptible_a and_o they_o that_o accept_v the_o bargain_n make_v good_a the_o merchant_n proverb_n that_o there_o be_v twenty_o per_fw-la cent._n difference_n between_o will_v you_o buy_v and_o will_v you_o sell._n xi_o great_a quantity_n of_o cloth_n will_v be_v here_o make_v than_o now_o be_v when_o the_o clothier_n be_v moral_o sure_a of_o a_o certain_a market_n and_o ready-mony_n before_o the_o year_n go_v about_o and_o that_o make_v as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v it_o

they_o do_v but_o every_o member_n will_v have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o circulation_n proportionable_a to_o his_o ability_n the_o great_a one_o shall_v not_o have_v too_o much_o upon_o their_o hand_n at_o a_o time_n nor_o the_o lesser_a merchant_n too_o little_a but_o every_o one_o shall_v have_v so_o many_o lot_n as_o his_o trade_n require_v which_o may_v be_v know_v and_o attest_v by_o certificate_n from_o a_o english_a public_a notary_n abroad_o which_o will_v make_v every_o one_o factor_n industrious_a to_o drive_v as_o good_a and_o as_o speedy_a a_o trade_n as_o he_o can_v nor_o will_v this_o be_v any_o wrong_n to_o great_a merchant_n or_o expose_v their_o effect_n or_o ability_n since_o every_o one_o have_v liberty_n to_o be_v of_o more_o than_o one_o society_n as_o we_o

easy_o of_o trading_n without_o a_o stock_n whereby_o they_o often_o ruin_v themselves_o and_o dishonour_v the_o nation_n it_o be_v a_o reflection_n upon_o we_o abroad_o that_o our_o young_a
